 Posted: Sat May 06, 2006 6:24 am Post subject: Nose wheel stem clearance |
 |
|
I installed my nose wheel last night and had the same issue as others with the stem clearance. Even with the cap off, there was not enough clearance for comfort. I thought –“ if I could bend the stem slightly I would be OK” - NOT!
"Boys and girls - don't try this at home…"
The stem will break off at the threads…."so I am told" I am now looking at the tube + shipping to get back to the same place. In searching the archives someone had used a Desser tube on a different RV. Has anyone found a good replacement for the supplied nose tube that will work with the supplied rim and tire? It would be great to drop a different tube in - that had a shorter stem rather than back to the same situation. The alternative would be the other wheel "NW511.25" + tube + …
Any info would be appreciated.

Ours fit fine with about 1/8” clearance on the valve stem. Van’s suggested putting a rubber grommet of some kind where the two wheel halves some together to hold the valve stem. I don’t know if this would make a difference, but we put it in and don’t have a clearance problem.
Do not archive.

I’ve pretty well done with my RV-10 and I still have parts left I haven’t used. I have marked off each paragraph as I completed it and then each page once I complete everything on it. I have not done the wheel pants or gearleg fairing and intersect fairing yet, but I have quantity 4 -> 3/8” nutplates that I haven’t used yet and don’t see where they would be used on the wheel pants or gearleg fairing etc. Does anyone have any idea where they would be used?
Thank You

Are you sure they're 3/8" nutplates? That sounds huge.

They are. I suppose Van's could have sent me some -6 nutplates
3/8" instead of -06 which are 6/32.
